Vero Capital Acquires Kierland 2 in North Scottsdale

New ownership plans to create best-in-class experiential office campus in Phoenix metro area

Vero A2R, the Dallas-based office investment platform of Vero Capital (formerly Admiral Capital), announced today the acquisition of Kierland 2, and the contribution of Kierland 1 from affiliated funds to create a 410,000-square-foot Class A office campus in the North Scottsdale submarket of Phoenix, Ariz.

Vero A2R plans to deploy over $29 million in capital improvements across the two properties to create a best-in-class experiential office environment. As part of the acquisition, the owners intend to enter into an agreement with a co-working operator to manage a new co-working location within Kierland 2. Kierland 1 & 2 are in proximity to premier outdoor lifestyle centers Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter.

“The North Scottsdale submarket deserves a high-end office product consistent with the retail and residential offerings in the area,” said Andy Stone, managing partner of Vero A2R. “This urban node of Phoenix will now have a great live-work-play setup for office workers and residents.”

"We are very excited to close on the Kierland transaction, especially during such a challenging time in the capital markets. North Scottsdale is experiencing strong job and rent growth, and our renovated assets will be well positioned to benefit from this growth," said Dan Bassichis, founder of Vero Capital. "This transaction is a testament to the quality of the location, asset, and our business plan, along with the strength of our relationships with our capital partners."

Kierland 1 & 2 will be leased and managed by Stream Realty.
